#1917: Memory leak in 2.0.0.dev-Unknown
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  jiffyclub   |       Owner:  somebody
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  high        |   Milestone:  2.0.0   
Component:  numpy.core  |     Version:  devel   
 Keywords:  memory      |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 The following code overruns my system's memory in a fraction of a second:

 {{{
 >>> import numpy as np
 >>> np.__version__
 '2.0.0.dev-Unknown'
 >>> def test():
 ...     a = np.zeros((10000,10000),dtype=np.float)
 ...
 >>> while True:
 ...     test()
 ...
 }}}

 I believe this is the most recent numpy, checked out and compiled last
 night (7-28-2011). I'm using Python 2.7.1 on Mac OS 10.6.8.
